Damn.. a few days back I blew the dust of my vinyl and met up with one of my mates to banty about memories. Whist mucking about, many old names crossed the decks back and forth - from lekebusch and joel mull to long expired artists like Gulp (loop records ) v-key (trainspotters nightmare) and terry mullan (definitive records). It was a blast... but - after all of that - I made a special reconnection with my most favorite slab of vinyl (out of about 500) Tresor 60's Blue Arsed Fly.
I've finally made up my mind to track these amazing releases down to have them all. I couldn't give a flip if they were mp3, vinyl, cd, whatever the hell.. I need to find them.. but first, 3 quick questions:
#1) How many (original) releases were there? I only have the one, but feel like I remember at least 2 more..
#2) One quality I really love about these - aside from how they playfully muck about with the traditional din-sync programming conventions and exhibit the best side of Vogel and Landstrumm -
is how powerful the synths are. On my most favorite of the cuts, Bucket, the synth line has such a "bite" to it.. Does anybody have the slightest clue what was used for it? Pro-1? Synthi? I've always wondered this...
#3) Does anybody want to sell them if they have them? Since Tresor (or some other labels) probably own the rights to these tracks, I'll refrain from asking for mp3s.. but I'd really like some help finding them...
You know, all that remains of the 90s for me are a few hazy memories and a crate full of seemingly war torn vinyl that has outlived any sense of usefulness. Even still, the resonance of those tunes within me is better than any drug that's coursed through me.
